Question

A student wants to see if the number of times a book has been checked out of the library in the past year and the number of pages in the book are related. She guesses that the number of times a book has been checked out of the library in the past year will be a predictor of the number of pages it has. She randomly sampled 12 books from the library, test her claim at a 0.10 level of significance.

number of times checked out number of pages
22 239
38 265
46 379
5 369
31 319
11 275
21 270
27 341
35 308
9 350
46 434
25 314


The correlation coefficient:

 

r= (round to 3 decimal places)

The equation y=a+bx is: (round to 3 decimal places)

y=+ x

The hypotheses are:

 H0:ρ=0H0:ρ=0  (no linear relationship)
HA:ρ≠0HA:ρ≠0  (linear relationship) (claim)

Since αα is 0.10 the critical value is -1.813 and 1.813

The test value is:  (round to 3 decimal places)

The p-value is:  (round to 3 decimal places)

The decision is to

 

  • reject H0H0
  • do not reject H0H0

 

Thus the final conclusion sentence is

 

  • There is enough evidence to reject the claim that there is a linear relationship.
  • There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that there is a linear relationship.
  • There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear relationship.
  • There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear relationship.
